I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland. Prior to starting my private practice, I spent 5 years counseling students at the University of Maryland Health Center. Since starting my own practice I have focused on helping people struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, adjusting to parenthood, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, grief, ADHD, executive function, and other life transitions. I have recently completed PSI and 2020 Mom Professional Maternal Mental Health Certificate Training.
I have a passion for helping people achieve their goals and I consider it a gift to be able to hear other people's stories. My goal is to help you define and achieve your goals. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, strength based, and person centered therapeutic modalities.
Asking for help is always a difficult task and I admire the strength it takes to be able to reach out in a time of need. Life can be incredibly amazing, confusing, devastating, and hard to navigate on our own at times. I would love to have the opportunity to work with you, hear your journey, and help you heal yourself.
